Brentford FC's new stadium delayed

Brentford Football Club has pushed back the move-in date for its new stadium to the start of the 2020/21 season.

The west London team had planned to move into the ground, being built by Buckingham Group and developer EcoWorld London, in December 2019.

Brentford said it had taken the decision in anticipation of the “normal delays and problems that inevitably arise in a complicated construction project”.

Other factors cited by the club for the delay were the complexity of the site, which is bounded by railway lines on all sides, and that a mid-season switch of venue presented “operational challenges”.

Work on the stadium project, which also features a 910-home development, has been under way for more than four months, with piling works for the foundations now “90 per cent complete”, according to the club.

Brentford added that the first parts of the stadium’s steel frame were in place and sections of terracing on the south had begun to be laid.
